Foothill Ranch projects with 226 homes to go before planners Thursday

LAKE FOREST – Two developers working to get adjacent parcels of commercial property in Foothill Ranch rezoned for residential building will present their layout and architecture plans Thursday to the Planning Commission.

Brookfield Residential and Trumark Co. have proposed 151 condominiums on 9 acres and 75 single-family homes on 7 acres, respectively, on land once occupied by the Foothill auto mall.

Units in the Brookfield development would range from 763 square feet to 1,747 square feet, according to site plans.

In the development, called Towne Centre Residential, would be 21 one-bedroom units, 65 two-bedroom units and 65 three-bedroom units.

The Brookfield project would include a centrally located 8,500-square-foot recreation and community area.

Trumark's development, once named Foothill Ranch Village but on the latest plans referred to as The Paseos at Foothill Ranch, would include homes ranging from 1,736 square feet to 2,240 square feet, according to site plans.

The Trumark project would include a recreation area of about 9,000 square feet.

The public has the opportunity to comment on the projects at the Thursday meeting and at public hearings, which could take place in spring.
